There is actually an opening for that position. PM me your CV.

Would you not be just as satisfied with a resume, rather than a curriculum vitae?

Are they different in the colonies? Over here they're the same...

There are slight differences. Resume's are basically just summaries of my skills, education, experience, and all that nonsense. My resume is only about 2 pages long. But my CV would be significantly longer, providing a more detailed synopsis of those listed above as well as backgrounds, teaching and research experience, awards, honors, and more.

In the States, we generally use a resume, unless we are applying for academic, education, scientific, or research positions.

Hmm, I guess thinking about it, they are slightly different over here too.

But whenever I've talked about them they're used interchangeably.

Well, just let me know which you would prefer?

Really? I've never heard CV used here at all. It's just a word in British novels that means resume. Tongue

I've seen people include a resume plus a portfolio of projects though.

I learned all about CV's during my senior year in high school. They had us write one as an example vs writing a resume. So much fun...

That gold color.... Ugh.

FYI - I am accepting bribes donations to change it back to purple (*).
